OCM Reports

  • Looked at the database systems for Unigames and UniSFA. Both systems are built around the function of being able to borrow items from their inventory. Should the UCC make their entire inventory accessible to all members? (yes) What about borrowing? (we have a website for it) Began taking inventory with a temporary file in Google Sheets. Progress is not great, just 18 items so far. Need to share this with UCC via Google Drive, if UCC has one. Will probably definitely pester an exec with technical questions about the documentation of items. On Saturday evening, while taking inventory, I have met up with [NTU], who has informed me of a discontinued project to catalogue all books from the UCC library and make them available online on the LibraryThing.com website, which could aid my efforts. We both have attempted to access the account with which this has been done, but it would seem that the UCCPass details for this account have been lost, along with the recovery email. Questioning committee members involved with the LibraryThing ([MPT] and [MVP]) catalogue has not yielded positive results. So far, 34 items have been catalogued anew, including books. On the personal note, it seems that I'm too optimistic about the progress rate of this project. - Daniel
  • [NTU] We have a lifetime subscription to https://www.librarything.com/about (which was USD$25, now gratis as of 2020-03)
  • Made a neat little infographic using dispense coke logs that can help with understanding what items are most popular with club members and to help with future inventory stocking and management. Check it out at https://neromirt.ucc.asn.au/dispenseProject.html - Ming Han
